Detoxification is the first stage of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you can decide to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Marcellus provides medically supervised detox, which is conducted with the cooperation of nurses and physicians who can make drug withdrawal easier and more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person withdrawing from alcohol for example might need certain medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may decide to undergo medically supervised detoxification in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to ease them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have subsided. This could be anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks depending on what type of substance they are withdrawing from and their overall physical and mental health.
For a person who has been struggling with substance abuse issues for some time, the recommendation would be a quick and smooth transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug rehabilitation program to handle their addiction because detox is not actual treatment in itself.
